This place is in a great location for walking to many restaurants, bars and the beach. If you are going to San Diego to hang out in a hotel / motel room, this is not your place. You cannot beat the price and location.

There were only two good things about this property:
An employee named AK and the close proximity to where we needed to ve.
Now let's break down what they MUST improve on:
- pool area was not really useable. The chairs were dirty and there was a random microwave sitting on the floor of the pool deck.
- the furniture in the room is outdated and in poor condition.
- room smelled weird. Can't even explain the smell. Just weird.
- bathroom in disrepair. The "bars" of soap were the size of poker chips. The towels were child-sized.
- the smoke detector was off the wall mount and sitting in the corner of the room behind the bed.
- the curtains were not that pretty teal color. They're a darker blue and covered in dust at the top.
- comforters weren't even on the beds. They were folded on the foot of the bed.
- staff was LOUD. It's morning and they're talking at the top of their lungs. No sleeping in!
- there are NO phones inside the rooms. If you need the front desk you'll have to google the number.
- I called the hotel and asked for 30 minutes so I could finish gathering my things to leave. They wanted to charge me $40 for 30 minutes.
- bed frames are built weird & pieces stick out. I have 2 gnarly bruises on my legs from bumping into them.
- dirty walls. Closets weird.
They charge a LOT for what you get.
They need to fix the rooms & the grounds to make them presentable, practical, & clean. Invest in the improvements & you'll get better reviews & repeat customers.

The facility is pretty old but it definitely delivers what it promises. The position is very good, it’s close to everything you need.

This entire room is out dated and is badly in need of an upgrade. No air conditioner, just a fan. The door locks did not work properly while closing and opening the door. There was only 2 electrical outlets in the room. None in the bathroom. The disinfectant and bleach that they used to clean the room was so strong, I had to leave the door open to get some air. This room has not been painted in over 10 years. There were no amenities! No microwave or mini refrigerator. The online app is misleading. Extremely disappointed in the room. The staff were vert pleasant & accommodating.

This place is awful and nothing like the photos. It is noisy, does not have any amenities like basic things like a fridge, hairdryer etc. Toilet overflowed, shower barely worked, no wifi, asked for an extra towel and got a bath mat. It is so noisy that you can’t keep a window open but no air conditioning.

Old rooms in need of an update, which is usually not an issue, however, there is no wi-fi available on the property. There are no hairdryers in the room or on the property. Room #225 had a small kitchenette, which is awesome, but the hot water from the sink next to the electric stove top in room leaked into the stove (!). Comforter had black stain.
Staff was apologetic for the lack of what are pretty typical amenities even for a budget motel.
